    I suspect he is one of many who have rejected us this summer and I get the impression GA is really frustrated about it all

    Apparently his agent is seeking £15k a week wages for Collins, hence no club yet as a string of clubs have been chasing him.

    That's laughable if true, and does the player no favours whatsoever. Unless he fancies playing for Salford.

    Issue is, last season we seemed to get down to bare bones quite early in the season at CB.

    I would definitely rather have an experienced CB than a rookie, but if we do get lucky with injuries this season, yeah, I would also prefer the prospect.

    Jobs are kept and lost on these kinds of decisions.

    GA has given him a good run out in pre-season, so one must assume that he is our plans. It would be a bit frustrating now if he didn't sign and we are another player light in the squad.

    Yeah maybe.

    Perhaps still better to get a proper preseason than train with the PFA lot though.

    Crazy if true as I believe he was only on around £3.5k at Peterborough

    If his agent is asking £15k per week, he needs to get a new agent, as currently he is earning zero and if those demands are true, he will be earning that for a good while yet. The new rules mean all clubs will have to tighten their belts without a vast increase in turnover or owner gifts

    If his agent is that far off the mark, he's probably a family member.

    He's still a gambke for anyone.
    Last played 90 minutes in a competitive fixture, April 24 !
    GA is very very patient with him, would anyone else be so ?

    It was obvious from GA’s previous interview that he thinks Nick Powell is a seriously class act for this division, who can do a very effective job for us if he stays fit - big if, obviously. Which is presumably why he’s being very patient with him.

    The agent supposedly wanting £15k a week for Collins was reported earlier today by the Peterborough Telegraph journalist who covers Posh.

    Collins keeping himself fit with Exeter after Oxford move fell through apparently. £15k is a ludicrous request. He will end up with half that.

    A shame as a decent player.
